Hot damn, I can't wait until Miami Spice, which starts August 1, which is 18 days from now. For those unaware of what Miami Spice runs from the beginning of August until the end of September. During this time you can score a five-star meal at the unbelievable low price of $22 for lunch, $35 for dinner (plus tax and tip). I've only done dinner, but the $35 includes appetizer, entree and dessert. Of course, you are choosing from a set menu, but you can look before you buy at the Miami Spice website, to see if the menu appeals to you. And no, you aren't going to get Chili's-size portions here, but its filling (enough) once you've gone through all the courses.
Some of the places I definitely want to check out include Cacao, Karu & Y, Ortanique on the Mile, Table 8 and Social Miami, and probably return to some of favorites like North One 10, SushiSamba droMo, O Asian Grill and Talula.
Dammit, my diet is going to go to shit. I might as well stop eating now.
